matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib (Page 9)

Using AxesGrid does not mean that color scales are shared. It only
takes care of axes placement. And it is your responsibility to sync
colorbars of multiple images.
One option is to use *norm* attribute of images.
 norm = matplotlib.colors.Normalize()
 for i in range(3):
 im = grid[i].imshow(Z, extent=extent, interpolation="nearest",
 norm=norm)
 im = grid[3].imshow(1000 * Z, extent=extent, interpolation="nearest",
 norm=norm)

Given the code attached at the end of this message, the two versions produce figures that look identical. To my mind, however, it doesn't exactly seem that the colorbars are "shared" in any real sense.
